Preferences are workspace-specific.  Every time you create a new 
workspace you have to go through setting all that stuff all over again.  
That being the case, the primary thing you have to worry about is moving 
your workspaces.  Since you'll need to move those anyway, then you 
should be in good shape.

As an aside, although I've heard some folks talk against using a network 
drive (I think Don Yantzi in particular has said this) I personally find 
very little performance degradation on a good network drive.  Now, I'm 
lucky enough to have a 100MB LAN with me as the sole user, so your 
mileage may indeed vary, but the nice thing about a network workspace is 
that it's really easy to set up a new machine and access existing 
workspace (real easy to share them, as well -- not at the same time, of 
course, but having a workspace that anybody can access as needed).
